We’ve heard it said actions speak louder than words. When it comes to conviction, it’s true. We can say, “Oh, yeah, I believe a healthy diet is important,” but if we say it while consuming a steady diet of nachos, deep-fried Oreos, and soda pop, folks probably won’t believe us. *wink* People who have no regard for Jesus will show it in their actions; people who claim to love Jesus should show it in their actions. If we love Him, we follow Him in our speech, attitude, and behavior. We’ll recognize fellow believers by their speech, attitude, and behavior. It harkens back to bearing fruit. Are we truly reflecting Jesus in this world that desperately needs to know the Savior?
